WAYS IN WHICH ARCHITECTURAL FORM CAN BE USED TO AID IN THE RECOGNITION OF THE SELF AS BEING SHAPED BY EVERYDAY SURROUNDINGS
The work of Dan Graham looks at creating an increased social conscience in the spectator. This involves shifting the consciousness of self to that of self amongst others, as part of a whole and the engagement of defined publics on social issues.
The formal set up of Public Space/Two Audiences, 1976 (middle fig.) enables each audience to see the other's visual behaviour, turning the audience into the exhibit. The flux of the experience carries a reading of the self in a dynamic, not static, situation of both environment and other bodies.
